This is one of the best readers I've ever heard on Librivox or any other audio book for that matter. He does such a good job switching in and out of the
...
various characters. Also it is a very good recording quality. I will look for more titles read by this guy. Awesome job. I've been doing Long John impressions every since listening to this adding "Not I" to the end of my sentences... Its annoying my friends, "but I won't stop at once I won't nooo, not I"

A wonderful reading. Loved the accents and different voices and speech patterns, and was delighted with the eccho- and layer-effects. Good job!

excellent reading, full of vim and gusto, and bringing each character to life with their own distinctive voice. He does a good job of singing buccaneers too. I can't think of a better antidote for a rainy day. Enjoy!

I downloaded this book to listen to while driving on a long trip. I was so into this recording that I nearly drove out of gas. I wish the Coen brothers
...
would make a movie based on this. In my mind's eye it was as if they were telling the story. I am not sure the ladies will appreciate the adventure, blood and violence. I loved it. I enjoyed how Robert Louis Stevenson ended each chapter with something that forced you to want to go on. I simply could not stop listening to this book.

Billy Bones dies in the inn after being presented with a black spot, or official pirate verdict of guilt or judgment. Jim is stirred to action by the spot and its mysterious, accurate portent of Billy’s death. Hastily, Jim and his mother unlock Billy’s sea chest, finding a logbook and map inside.
And so begins a classic sea adventure. The reading by Adrian Praetzellis is very good indeed. Many thanks.
